Default Finally, I can call Canada 'home'.

well I land next Thursday- just thought I'd share it with you all.

No flights to book... no big fanfair, just the comfort of knowing I can get knocked over now AND have medical coverage.

I have lived in Canada for the last 2 and 3/4 years and so I feel as though I am pretty much settled... well for the most part.

I almost felt that I had been stuck in the middle of the atlantic as neither Wales Nor Canada felt like 'home'.

Now. I feel like I belong :-)
